Quark-flavor research will be conducted by the Rensselaer Polytechnic group using the CLEOc facility at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR). The CESR/CLEOc laboratory has embarked on an aggressive program of research in the charm-quark sector which will result in data samples that far exceed all previous measurements. Detailed tests of lattice QCD methods will be performed by measuring hadronic and leptonic meson decays. These will greatly increase the accuracy of quark-mixing experiments. Rare-decay studies will search for evidence of dark-matter particles and other non-standard model physics. Graduate, undergraduate and other physics students will participate in the research program.

夸克味研究将由伦斯勒理工学院小组使用康奈尔电子储存环（CESR）的CLEOc设施进行。 CESR/CLEOc实验室已经开始在粲夸克领域进行积极的研究计划，这将导致数据样本远远超过以前的所有测量。格子QCD方法的详细测试将通过测量强子和轻子介子衰变来进行。这将大大提高夸克混合实验的准确性。稀有衰变研究将寻找暗物质粒子和其他非标准模型物理的证据。 研究生、本科生和其他物理专业的学生将参加这项研究计划。
